The 7th century BC started the first day of 700 BC and
ended the last day of 601 BC.

The Assyrian Empire continued to dominate the
near east during this century, exercising formidable power over
neighbors like Babylon and
Egypt. In the last two decades
of the century, however, the empire began to unravel as numerous
enemies made alliances and waged war from all sides. The Assyrians
finally left the world stage permanently when their capital Nineveh was destroyed in 612
BC. These events gave rise to the Neo-Babylonian Empire, which
would dominate the region for much of the following century.
